This coal is remarkable for its

heart of the Lehigh region, and no
expense or trouble is spared in Its
preparation.
It must not be COMPOUNDED with
the product of the Lehigh Coal and

It is a Beauty

The handsomest and most brilliant
piece of household furiture imagin-
able, and as superior for Its use as it
is attractive, is the new Art Garland
coal stove. One of them is now on
exhibition at the store Of How Bros.
& Co. and it certainly Is the finest
heater ever offered in this market.
No expense has been spared in its
construction, and as the Garlands
always leads in every mprovement,
so has it in this case opened up a
wide gap between the Art Garland
and the best of its imitators in tile
market. 1t is not only respondent
in FURNISHED nickel, but its erna-
mentatiOn serves useful purpose as
reflector of both light and: heat. 1t
is graceful in its lines, chaste in
design and thing of beauty. II
has number of valuable new fea.
lures which add materially to its
heating capacity making it econo-
mical in consumption of fuel and
effective in heating. There is no
heat wasted. Call and give it close
inspection.

Hot Wheat.

The following caution is from the
Pioneer Press of Sunday, and far IN ers
will do well to give it due consider.
alton:
Owing to the heavy dockage for
dirt farmers are showing some dispo-
sition to store their wheat this fall.
Unless the wheat is cleaned before
storing it will heat, and there Will be
more hot wheat in the Northwest
this fall than there ever was at Chi
cago. A great deal Of the wheat ar.
irving carries an unusually large
amount of dirt and seeds. These
contain a great deal of moisture and
if the wheat is stored without being
run through separator it wouldn t
be thirty days before the grain
would be ruined. Farmers cannot
be too careful with their wheat this
year, as a great deal of it was
threshed while damp, and will quick
ly heat and mold in the granery. Re-
ports received yesterday show that a
considerable percentage of the grain
has been injured, but it Is too soon
to give any estl mate of the damage,
as great deal depends on the wealth
er during the next few weeks.

A. 0. Madison met with a serious
loss on his farm the other day. He
was threshing with a crew and at
noon he remained with his grain sep
arator while the crew went to dinner.
He cleaned up about the engine and
got everything into readiness for af-
ternoon work and upon the return of
the crew he went to dinner. During
his absence the straw took fire and
the separator, forty bushels of wheat
in sacks and 125 bushels in the stack
were consumed. Nothing was saved
but the engine. He is confident the
fire caught from the carelessness of a
smoker, as it was next to impossible
for it to have taken from the furnace,
under the circumstances. No iEsur-
ance except on wheat. Net loss about
5000.

and Indicate that the delay has been
unavoidable so far us the company
and contractor Evans are concerned.
The bonds of the road had all been
negotiated. and the money placed in
trust with one of the heaviest finan-
cial institutions of New York City.
President Conkey and the flndncia!
manager Of the syndicate, Mr..
Jones, procured the bonds of litho-

cuted a1d took them to New York.
There they were confronted by an
inhexible rule of the Stock Exchange
Of New York City, that no stocks
nor bonds could be listed with the
Exchange except such as were en-.
graved and printed by certain bank
note company in New York City,
and the Chicago bonds would not be
accepted by the Trust company. 1t
became necessary therefore to have
the work all done over, and the en-.
craving and printing requires six
weeks. 1t was thought that temper
airy bonds could be used, and such
were executed by the officers, but
these the Trust company could not
accept owing to a clause in the con.
tract with the syndicate by viii CHI
the Trust company certiiies upon
each bond that it is one OF the gen u.
inc and only issue of bonds ma de by
the railroad.
Nothing remained but to avail t
the completion of the engraved
bonds, which were. promised before
September lst. Judge Caldwell and
engineer S. w. Roberts went down to
ST.. Paul on Saturday and had an in.
terview with President Conkey, who
explained the matter fully to them,
and said he was hourly expecting a
telegram calling him and secretary
Harrison to New York to sign the
new bonds, and that Contractor
Evans was there, with Mr.. Jones
awaiting the completion of the mat
ter, when Mr.. Evans will leave at
once for Sank Centre. He may be

claim against the company or the
contractor, and that there need be
no uneasiness. The delay is proyok.
